Luck already top 5 QB? per ESPN/NFL hack


Jmac

Recommended Posts

Mike Sando (who?) per ESPN/NFL article...didn't bother to attach since it's a lot of slobbering and ass kissing.He iS NOT a top five QB at this time....maybe top ten or fifteen(I do believe Cam will be right there in the mix also).Let's see who gets a ring first...him or Cam. In the near future our whole cap mess will be over and we will finally see what our guy can do.Luck is good but top five....not.

We would have had Luck if his Daddy didn't step in and didn't want him playing for the Panthers...he would have been our guy.So the comparison may always be there between him and Cam.

Except that never happened. Luck's father has expressed great respect for Jerry Richardson.

I'd love to see this board become less fascinated with what analysts think about other team's quarterbacks.

Then what was all the noise about his father didn't want him to play here and decided his son would stay in school? Where did that all come from?

Butthurt fan speculation.

There was never any actual truth to it. Oliver Luck himself debunked speculation about it when a reporter asked. He even called Jerry Richardson directly to make sure he knew there was nothing to it.

If Cam was a bust, Nolan Nawrocki would be riding his prediction all the way to a prime-time gig at ESPN.  Articles that claim a second or third year QB is already among the league elite are really more about the author's placing an "I called it!" article out there than actually measuring accomplishments.  And Luck is probably going to be a top five QB at some point in the next several years.  Doesn't mean Cam won't, but it does explain why some of these pundits seem to be overly in love with him.  They just want to be able to say they were right years before anyone else.

    • I think at some point you top out what God gave you.  He can use leverage via his mechanics to maximize what he has and When he pays attention to it the throws are better.    IMO as a layman a lot of it is what kind of ‘headroom’ you have. The guys who are gifted don’t have to use maximum effort to get good results and stay within themselves but they have it in reserve. They can do an arm throw for substantial distance without max effort.    I think what we may be seeing with these ‘lasers’ is a throw that Bryce puts the max effort into and does his mechanics right and has his base right and it works together.    To get to the payoff here, I think his best velocity throws take dall that whereas  a naturally gifted guy doesn’t need to go full effort to get that same velocity. I have said this three or four times over the years and it never gets picked up on but the accuracy is more consistent with an easier motion and max effort can produce less predictable location. It is a baseball pitcher thing but it applies to throwing a pass too. It isn’t that you can’t make an accurate throw with full effort it is just not as reliably accurate to the same degree. Someone said something about his pro day and that is where I saw it too. He took a little extra step on the deep throws. Some call it a hitch but I don’t see it that way because I don’t see it on shorter throws. He does it trying to get distance. I saw that and just wanted no part of it at 1.1 . That is not tne characteristic of a 1.1 passer.  He should have been at best, late first  I had him second day. Of course I am no one and certainly not a pro evaluator, it is just that he WS so easy to suss out. They must have thought they could fix him. Changing a lifelong throwing motion with the footwork tied into it is not fuging easy. Anyone that had decent success with ‘their’ way and tried to change it to get more, can tell you that.     
    • Sounds like a tad bit of what Josh Allen had. He would make throws that made zero sense die to his desire to make a make. Bryce also turns the ball over believing their is an unlimited shot clock in those moments. Sometimes the best play is to reset for the next one. 
    • See, I think one of his biggest issues is he bails too early.  His instinct has been to bail as soon as defenders get behind him and the pocket starts to close in. Taller QBs hang in there for that extra second or two and throw over guys as the pocket collapses in the QBs lap.  BY runs as soon as this starts to happen, which means routes don’t have time to develop and the field gets cut in half as soon as he runs. This last game I saw some signs of him being willing to hang in the pocket when the defense gets behind him, but that has been rare.
